Strip
Open your eyes
Open your ears
Open your mouth
Open your hands
Open your mind
Open your heart
They are all things that are doable by man
Judgement has taken on human form
He's running amuck throughout our land
Putting fear in many people that cross his path
Causing death and destruction anywhere he can
Don't let judgement strip you of your self esteem
Don't let him strip you of your pride
Don't let judgement strip you of your voice
Or embed self hatred in your mind
Let judgement know that you will be your authentic self
Tell him you will not stop or be silent this time
And that regardless of his threats of verbal and physical abuse
Living your truth is not something you will bury inside
